[PATCH 0/3] reiserfs/kill-bkl: Ioctl path fixes and unlocked_ioctl conversion

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Hi,

This includes some fixes in the reiserfs ioctl path for the
reiserfs/kill-bkl tree.

As usual, any reviews or testings are very welcome.

Thanks,
Frederic.

The whole tree that drops the bkl from reiserfs 3 can be pulled from:

[PATCH 1/3] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: always lock the ioctl path

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Reiserfs uses the ioctl callback for its file operations, which means
that its ioctl path is still locked by the bkl, this was synchronizing
with the rest of the filsystem operations. We have changed that by
locking it with the new reiserfs lock but we do that only from the
compat_ioctl callback.

Fix that by locking reiserfs_ioctl() everytime.

[PATCH 2/3] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: definitely drop the bkl from reiserfs_ioctl()

[Frederic Weisbecker]

The reiserfs ioctl path doesn't need the big kernel lock anymore , now
that the filesystem synchronizes through its own lock.

We can then turn reiserfs_ioctl() into an unlocked_ioctl callback.

[PATCH 3/3] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: drop the fs race watchdog from _get_block_create_0()

[Frederic Weisbecker]

We had a watchdog in _get_block_create_0() that jumped to a fixup retry
path in case the bkl got relaxed while calling kmap().
This is not necessary anymore since we now have a reiserfs lock that is
not implicitly relaxed while sleeping.
